We've been working hard on getting our math facts fluent. It takes a lot of practice. Speaking of practice, we've been doing handwriting every day. We will be doing two-digit multiplication next week and continuing with a project in social as well as more experiments and experiences in science.
I've embedded twitter in the blog and I will have students tweet about our activities throughout the day.
Swimming is on Monday P.M. And we will leave around noon.
